IREIAENII BUCKLE.

Application filed dune 12, 1924. "Serial No. 719,572;

This invention has relation to certain new and useful improvements a rein buckle and has for its primary object the provision of a simple and inexpensive form of buckle which will securely hold the rein in adjust ed position and which will also permit ready adjustment of the rein lines.

The invention has for a further object the provision of a rein buckle of the character stated which is of such construction and operation that the rein line may be readily moved through one of the buckle sections in one direction and will be prevented by the same from moving therethrough in the other direction, the rein lines working through the buckle sections in opposite di-' rections and the buckle sections being pivoted to one another in such a manner that the rein lines lie in parallel relation with the buckle sections in alignment with one another.

7 ing a part of the present application and in which:

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the buckle in use.

Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section through the same.

Fig. 4 is a detailed fragmentary section, substantially on the plane of line k4 of Fig. 3 looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.

Fig. 5 is a detailed transverse section substantially on the plane of line 55 of Fig. 3 looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.

Referring more in detail to the drawings in which similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughtheseveral views, it is to be noted that the buckle includes the buckle sections 7 and 8 which are in the form of channel members and piv otally connected by the pivot member 9 extending through the side flanges of the section 7 at one upper corner thereof and through the turned back extension 10 at ,ally -mounted therein means of the tongues 12 extending therefrom in pairs and projecting through the openings 13 provided for this purpose in the side flanges 7" 0f the buckle section 7. One edge 14.- of

each member 11 is extended at an angle and;

providedwith teeth adapted to grip into the ends of the rein 15 extended'through the buckle section 7 and resting on the flat face thereof, as shown clearly in the. drawings. It will also be seen from the drawings that the tongues 12 are located near the edge 1 1 of each member 11 and the other edge 16 of each member 11 is extended at a right angle to normally rest on the rein 15.

The other end of the rein, indicated at 17, is similarly held in adjusted position in the buckle section 8. This buckle section 8 is constructed practically the same as the buckle section 7 and has pivoted therein rein gripping members. 18 corresponding to the members 11. Thetongues 19 ofthe mem bers 18 are extended through openings 23 in the side flanges 8 of the buckle section 8, as shown clearly in Figs. 1 and '2. It will also be seen from the drawings that the angularly ext-ending edges 20 of the members 18 have teeth engaging in the rein 17 to prevent movement-cf the'same in one direction through the buckle section 8, after adjustment of the same. 1 The other edges 21 of the members 18 are extended at sub stantially right angles to the main portions of the members 18 and rest on the rein- '17. One or morepins 22 may be extended through the buckle section 7 as shown in the drawings, if desired. 7

It is believed the complete construction and operation may now be understood from the foregoing paragraphs taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, without further detail description. It may be.

15 f and 17 which will be automatically locked inits adjusted position and prevented from moving in the other direction through the respective buckle sections 7 and 8. Furthermore, the buckle sections 7 and 8 are constructed and connected in such a manner as to permit the ends 15 and 17 of the reins to lie fiatupon one another with the buckle sections v7 and 8 in alignment.

While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been disclosed, it is to be understood that minor changes in the details of construction, combination and arrangement of co-operating elements may be resorted to Within the scope of What is claimed Without departing from the-spirit of the invention.

WhatIc1ai1nasneWis:,@ s V In combination, a buckle section having a fiat face, upstanding side flanges and rein gripping means pivoted between said side flanges; another buckle section, having afiat face, upstanding side flanges and rein gripping means pivoted between said side flanges, said last mentioned buckle being pivoted between the side flanges of the buckle section aforesaid; the flat face of each of said buckle sections being in spaced relation, to permit the end of a rein to pass therebetvveen.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature.
